Pride Community Center of the Tri-Cities

A local non-profit organization created to nurture and empower the LGBT community of East Tennessee and South-west Virginia

Visions and Goals

We envision a world where all people are free to express, take pride in, and enjoy fulfilled lives without regards to their sexual and gender identities.

Values

actively embrace diversity within and among our communities, generating inclusiveness of opinions, beliefs, and values without regard to age, socio-economic status, race, culture, or religious practice.

Mission

We are dedicated to providing a safe space to foster the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being of individuals in the LGBT communities of the Tri-Cities and surrounding areas.

Pride Community Center of the Tri-Cities (PCC) welcomes you to our website.

It is our dream to create a positive visible presence for the Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender (LGBT) community in the Tri-Cities of East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. We opened a physical space downtown Johnson City in 2019. (King Centre 300 E Main St Suite 159) Our intention is for the PCC to function as a safe space to gather, nurture, empower, and share one’s experiences. We are creating an environment that fosters understanding, education, acceptance, advocacy and growth. This will be a place where we can nurture and bring together our LGBT community and explore the many possibilities of personal growth. The Pride Community Center will be a space in which we can gather socially, hold meetings, have functions, and pool all the resources of the LGBT community. The PCC will provide information on pertinent issues, such as gay owned or operated businesses, gay friendly businesses, hotlines, LGBT groups, support groups, LGBT activities and events, and LGBT friendly services. Please help us make this dream a reality for our LGBT community by donating to this worthy and much needed endeavor. Thank you for visiting our site today. Tell your friends! By all of us working together we can make a difference in East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia.
